Wow I called the Central Fish Market today and spoke to Debra/Mgr and she was very well informed…read moreabout the various types of catfish I was inquiring about. I have bought fish from here since my childhood and moved away years ago. It is an old fashioned little hole in the wall that has been around forever. I plan to come home for Memorial day and I wanted a catfish that would not be muddy tasting and fatty. She is selling me the Yellow catfish, also known as the flathead or Appaloosa catfish. It is a lean catfish without all of the fatty underside that I hate so much! I got educated on the various types of catfish I could purchase like white catfish or channel catfish and now I cannot wait to go pick up my yellow catfish. Their fish is fresh off of the boat!! You cannot go wrong here!! If you are in Pine Bluff you want to get your fish here!!!

Let me start off by saying I LOVE chicken cracklings. Being from Mississippi, we don't really have…read morespots that sell them fresh like Louisiana does. So whenever I'm passing through, stopping at Billy's Boudin & Cracklin or Randall's Cajun Foods is a must for me. I went to Randall's today. About 5 months ago, I stopped in and the cracklings had clearly been sitting for a while, they were tough. I explained my concern and even offered to pay extra just to have a fresh batch cooked. After going back and forth, they finally made them fresh, and they were exactly what I wanted. Fast forward to today, I called ahead and specifically asked for fresh cracklings. The young man on the phone said okay, no problem. I walk in 5 minutes later and there's already a bag waiting. I asked where they came from and she told me they were cooked that morning. That was an immediate no for me. If I'm spending $21 for a pound, I don't want tough, sitting all day cracklings. Go ahead and put those back. I ended up trying the boudin balls, big mistake. You could tell they had been sitting too. At that point, I didn't even have the energy to go back and forth or ask for a manager. Honestly, it should be a given. This picture is pepper jack boudin ball. Look how dry it is . Needless to say, I won't be back.

The order was to be ready today Dec 27th at 10:00 We just got a call at 9:01 and were notified that there is no meat! I want the public to know that this place is not one to order meats from! We now have 4 hours to come up with something for our family. Family members coming in from LA and Shreveport. You certainly can not depend on this place. Also last week we bought a chicken and dumpling casserole that was horrible! Only dark meet was used! Please do not confuse this company with Randall' Captain Averies on Ferrand. The company that gave the poor service is Randall's on Sterlington Road. This owners purchased this place two years are.

If you're traveling and you order several pounds, you can drop off a cooler and they will pack it on ice for you. It's a small space with about six tables. However, even if you go inside and order to go, you will pick it up at the window outside. My older family grew up eating gar and buffalo fish and they say this is as good as anything they've ever had. To me, it was just fish! The Gar has a flavor in between chicken and fish and has a tougher texture so I gave mine away after a few bites to another family member who had been staring at me, hoping I wouldn't like it and would want to give it away! I did like the buffalo though. It looked like a small rib bone. Several of my family members were skeptical because they were remembering buffalo fish as having lots of small bones. This, however; was one bone the size of a large finger and the rest was meat. Worry not and enjoy.

Same as before, made our order over the phone to get a bag of mudbugs. Pretty simple and person on the phone was very nice and pleasant. Went a picked up the bugs as scheduled. Mudbugs were active and a good size. Cooked them up and delicious as always. Glad I went on my gut feeling and the prior service I have always received at this place as opposed to some of the comments on here. We are very pleased with the whole process and the crawfish we bought. Oh, party was fabulous!!

I didn't think I'd hear back seeing that I had called 4 other places the day before.
